 Version 0.4.1 contains a special backport for Baofeng users
 to work around a
 firmware incompatibility issue. It now prevents the
 accidental upload of a
 UV-5R type data .img having a different memory layout than
 the target radio.
 
 Users of radios other than the Baofeng UV-5R (and variants)
 do not need to
 install this release over 0.4.0 (see issue #1773 for
 details).
 
 Because of the many fixes and enhancements that have been
 made to the
 BaoFeng UV-5R driver since the V0.4.0 stable version was
 released (such as
 added support for the Baofeng UV-82C and  BF-F8HP
 models), it is highly
 recommended that users of the Baofeng UV-5R (and variants)
 upgrade to the
 CHIRP daily-20140819 (or later) build.

 If this ends up being a duplicate post, I apologize: I never
 got a copy back
 from the list server.
 
 I would like to programatically combine multiple stock
 configs, potentially
 manipulating them as I go. Failing that, I need to be able
 to at least
 modify duplex settings across an entire config at one go
 rather than having
 to toggle the settings for each channel entry.
 
 Here is what I am trying to do:
 
 I have a number of .csv files defining different zones for
 channel settings.
 For example, I have, a zone for regional interoperability, a
 zone for local
 law enforcement, local fire, etc., a zone for NIFOG
 Interoperability
 channels, a zone for GMRS, a zone for regional ARES/Skywarn
 channels, one
 for channels used by CERT and other local groups, etc. I
 store those zone
 files as stock configs for building a laydown for a specific
 radio and
 specific user.
 
 Specific users will need some zones in their laydown and not
 others. More
 problematically, different users may be *licensed* for some
 services and not
 others. Generally it is not a problem to monitor the
 channels they are not
 licensed for, but I have to lock out transmit. For example,
 a user is
 licensed for local Part 90 public service but not amateur
 radio or
 vice-versa. So, when I build their laydown, I bring in the
 zones they need
 from stock configs but I either need to build two files for
 each zone (and
 worry that they will lose sync over time) or I have to
 manually toggle
 Duplex=off in each channel in every service they do not have
 access to.
 This gets to be a bit of a pain. I also need to make some
 individualized
 settings for each user (e.g. call-sign to come up at
 startup).
 
 As Chirp is written in Python, is there an internal API
 available to do this
 kind of manipulation? Is that API at all documented or
 stable?
 Ideally, I would like to write a script which will do
 something like
 (pseudocode):
 
 newWouxunLaydown.import("ZoneA.csv", 0);
 newWouxunLaydown.import("ZoneB.csv", 30, monitor);
 newWouxunLaydown.import("ZoneF.csv", 100, monitor);
 newWouxunLaydown.import("ZoneN.csv", 190, monitor);
 newWouxunLaydown.set("startup_message", callsign);
 newWouxunLaydown.set("lock_pin", pin);
 newWouxunLaydown.set("primary_channel", primaryChannel);
 
 # ...etc...
 
 newWouxunLaydown.write(outputFile);
 
 I can then create a script for each common configuration and
 when, for
 instance, ZoneB gets updated, just run the scripts to
 rebuild the laydowns.
 In theory I could even version control the .csv s for the
 zones and the
 scripts, stick them on a server, and then reuse them between
 local agencies
 (the end goal).
 
 Is this a fantasy?
 
 Somehow going from there to pretty-printing quick-reference
 cards for each
 user would be nice, too... :-)

 Eric,
 
 Don't use .CSV files. Use .IMG files. You can import .IMG
 files just like
 .CSV files and your power levels, duplex settings, etc will
 be retained.
 
 Another thing that might help is the "Edit Multiple
 Memories" dialog. Say
 you have a zone with 20 channels that need TX locked out.
 Highlight all 20
 of those rows (use ctrl-click, shift-click, etc.) then
 right-click one of
 them. Choose Edit at the dialog box that appears. Now with
 the Edit Multiple
 Memories editor showing, you can set Duplex=off on all 20
 rows at once.

 "Another thing that might help is the 'Edit Multiple
 Memories' dialog. "
 
 That was extremely helpful. Thank you.
 
 "Don't use .CSV files. Use .IMG files."
 
 One of the reasons I use .CSVs for my base files is that I
 can keep comments
 and other meta data in the files which I lose when writing
 .IMGs.
 Given that I am limited to 6-character channel names on most
 of my
 equipment, that commentary makes maintenance *much* easier.
 In particular, I
 can add page references directly to whatever document I got
 the programming
 info from. I also suck the CSVs into Open Office to build
 printable
 reference materials and to keep them synced with the NIFOG
 or EOP CSVs.
 
 You just gave me an interesting thought, however: given that
 the files are
 just regular comma-separated value spreadsheets, I can
 manipulate the fields
 directly with either Python or Perl, Javascript in Open
 Office, or even UNIX
 shell script (very ugly). I'll have to experiment next time
 I get a
 round-tuit and, if it works, I will share. It would be
 nowhere near as neat
 as an internal CHIRP API as I would have to use absolute
 references to
 columns, values, and so forth which would not be maintenance
 friendly...
 but it might work.
